Mountain Buggy Duet V3 Buggy Review: Is This One of the Best Double Strollers Out There?

While most double strollers take up ample room as a side by side option for twins or multiples, this particular one is designed to still fit in most doorways.

And where some double jogging strollers are made for older children only, the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 can accommodate your newborns in their car seats right from the start. There are easily enough features to make this particular stroller stand out from most others of similar design, especially when it comes to ease of use.

To fold the stroller, you can do so with one hand and watch the entire thing collapse into a much more manageable and easy to move and store stroller. It also has a hand-controlled brake for walking or jogging, regardless of terrain or incline. When you see that the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 is supposed to be a double jogger, it’s the real deal.

Like most other joggers, the front wheel can be locked into place or left to swivel, depending on your need. And the tires are air-filled to allow you to move effortlessly over most different kinds of terrain while walking or jogging.

Of course, the stroller isn’t perfect, because no strollers have everything you need. But the Mountain Buggy Duet V3 does come pretty close to it. You can purchase it on the manufacturer’s website and Amazon or in-store at Buy Buy Baby.

How Others Compare

Thule Urban Glide 2.0 Double Jogging Stroller

Thanks to its lightweight design and easy to maneuver wheels, it feels and moves a lot smoother than most other similar double joggers. Speaking of which, you can use the stroller on either smooth or rough terrain and lock the front swivel wheel into place if needed.

The suspension makes any ride an easy and smooth one for your infant or toddler, and the ergonomic handlebar can be easily adjusted for your comfort.

There’s also a five-point safety harness and a large canopy to keep your child comfortable during each ride in the stroller. The stroller is designed for children up to 75 pounds. You can purchase it on the manufacturer’s website and Amazon.

Baby Jogger 2014 City Mini GT Double Stroller

When it comes time to have your older babies or toddlers in the stroller, however, you can use it for little ones who are up to 50 pounds each. This definitely set is apart from some other double joggers, since that means there’s a combined weight limit of 100 pounds, which is a huge bonus.

Other than that, folding down the stroller is simple, and it has an automatic click-lock into place, so you don’t have to worry about it suddenly unfolding on its own.

The stroller also has all-terrain wheels and a suspension that makes rides easy and smooth for your little one. You can purchase it on the manufacturer’s website and Amazon.

Valco Baby Neo Twin Double Stroller

This is thanks in part to the stroller’s durable air-filled tires which are designed to go over any type of terrain.

The long handlebar on top can be adjustable depending on who is pushing the stroller and there are even two individual sunshade canopies.

This is especially useful for those times when one toddler may complain about the sun, and the other may prefer to have their shade pulled back. When folded with the easy one-handed click, the stroller can either lay flat or stand upright, which makes for easy transporting and storing.

It’s suitable for children up to 45 pounds, which means that you can likely use the stroller for children through their toddler years. You can buy it on the manufacturer’s website and Amazon.

BOB Revolution Pro Duallie

Unlike some of the other strollers comparable to the Mountain Buggy, the BOB Revolution Pro Duallie doesn’t have over-sized canopies, but it does have strong air-filled tires on the front and back.

Depending on the terrain you’re moving on, you can either leave the front wheel to swivel or lock it in place. There are also hand-operated brakes for your convenience and for your child’s comfort, plenty of suspensions to make for smooth rides every time.

The storage basket underneath is larger than is typical for strollers in general, let alone double joggers. And there’s even a wrist strap to keep you connected to the stroller at all times. It can be used for children from eight weeks old to 50 pounds. You can buy it on Amazon or in-store at Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond.

Final Thoughts

Whether they cost more or less or offer a little more room or ease of use varies from stroller to stroller. But even so, the Mountain Buggy offers a smooth ride for your little ones, and it can also be the only stroller you’ll need for quite a while. To be fair, it may be a little narrow for some parents’ comfort, but when it’s all said and done, there are so many little details that add up to one solid double jogger.
